"I love you." Ned mumbled tiredly, running his fingers through Peter's messy curls. Peter smiled, starting to fall asleep but trying his best to stay awake a bit longer.

"Love you too, honey..." He murmured, words barely understandable. Ned draped an arm over Peter's side and cuddled him closer, and Peter held his hand, kissing it gently. His thoughts were clouded by sleep and he kept Ned's hand resting on his cheek, still holding it lightly. Ned hummed in approval.

"Ned?" Peter mumbled, getting a deep hum in response.

"Do you think we'll ever get married?" Peter asked, and Ned chuckled a bit.

"We're engaged, babe. The wedding is in," Ned paused to yawn, "exactly a month."

That made Peter grin and he lazily rolled over to face Ned, cuddling into his fiance's chest and rubbing the soft fabric of his pajamas with his thumb. He slowly drifted off to sleep with Ned watching him fondly.

"How did I get so lucky?" Ned whispered to himself, kissing Peter on the forehead before snuggling closer to him and falling asleep as well, snoring lightly. His hand found it's way into Peter's, somehow.

And if maybe Peter sleep-mumbled about how much he loved his fiance, nobody would ever know.
